I have found that I was not infected (but if anyone got any unusual links from me let me know)... There have definitely been some REALLY odd things going on the past few days with MSN and all of us... that and the site going down all the time now..

*conspiracy theory subsystem kicking in*

Yeah, I got it from NoSlak. I figured it was ok, and Avast! didn't start screaming.

All it seems to do is tell you people who have blocked you or deleted you from MSN, and then it advertises itself. It doesn't install anything on your PC.

Ya..I got it too, first from NoSlack..then about 30 seconds later from Spectrum!

My Avast was up to date thankfully, so it didn't do anything when I clicked it (Just before I got it from Spectrum..too late, but that's how I KNEW something was wrong!)

Hasn't infected me, not from what I can tell anyways...no one started bitching they got a link to it from me
